1883, ii was generally assumed that IL it was
superseded the new system would also be
self-sustaining. The late Superintendent OF
Prisons, Mr.. Baker, expressed the opinion III
one of his reports that the State account sys-
tenn with machinery might ultimately be
made scf-sustaining After sitting what 1t
would cost for machinery, materials and SER
vice, he added "lf the S.ate can do bust
ness with economy, efficiency and honesty,
perhaps it can reimburse itself for these ad-
yances in full Such result, however. Is
one that the State has never realized before
in State account work. If the Safe account
system plus machinery becomes the settled
prison policy of tho State, the prisons may
ultimately become self-sustaining but for
wears they are certain to be large tax-eaters.
If the State account system minus machinery
should be adopted-and it is not without en-
crgetio friends in this Statc-what then?
1t was proposed by some members OF the
Legislature of 1886 again to submit the
prison question to the popular vote. They
argued that when the question was voted on
in 1888 it was by no means generally under

A LOST ART.

Sir John Thurston Governor OF the FIJI Islands,
is recorded by a Chicago reporter as saying that
in the territory governed by him Gambia
has become one OF the lost arts" Thus once
more are the paralyizing and destructive effects
OF Western civilization exhibited Contact with
the white races has killed off the most interesting
savaees. and now we must also write down the
touching practice Of cannibalism as among the
lost arts. 1t is too bad. No Won
der that the population OF the FIJI
Islands is diminishing rapidly when it Dis
considered that the poor islanders are deprived
OF that favorite dish which with pathetic SIM
plicity they were won't TO designate long pig"
One can conceive the blight cast over Vito Levu
by the suppression of all the charming customs
and ceremonies which had grown up about the
question of cannibalism. Never more will Fiji
Islander order a plump and pleasing wife to
accompany him to the woods and having In
structed her to build an oven, gently knock her
on the head truss the remains scientifically, and
serve them later to himself. beautifully Drowned
with the face duly BACKED as required by
island table etiquette
Never more may filial affection be displayed
in the seasonable cooking OF superamuated parents
nor will the ceremonies of laying foundation
stones be attended by the immolation of sundry
prisoners Of war, some to be buried beneath the
new edifce and other, to furnish subsistence to
the celebrants. 1t is indeed true that toward
the last cannibalism had been subject to some
abuse. 1t had in fact been considerably over
done. When the popular taste for human flesh
becomes developed u at it rs uns,fe TO Take
a quiet stroll with neighbor even in the day
time; when eternal vigilance Is the price Of

exemption from the oven; when no bride can
afford to be fnt and fair because OF the Dride-
groom's ghonlish appetite; it seems as though IL
were almost better for oannibaism to occupy the
distinguished il unattainabie position OF lost
art than for it to flourish so rankly. Perhaps
that is what the surviving FIJI Islanders thought
when King ThalSombaw embraced Christianity
and consigned his tive -pronged cannibal fork to
the repository of national relies. Whether he
regretted his conversion on finding that his
people disappeared faster after becoming Chris
tsns than they had in their wild and Gambia
state is not known. At all events. Sir John
1hl rston or somebody ought TO gather and publish
all that is still known OF this remarkable lost art
before the few remaining man.eaters vanish

COMMISSIONER WRIGHT ON THE PRISON
PROBLEM


The second annual report Of Carroll ID.
Wright. Commissioner of the National Blu
reau of Labor Statistics, possesses special
interest to those interested in the solution
of the prison problem. Mr. Wright has made
an exhaustive investigation; he has studied
the prison systems of all the Sites. The
result is that, while cCnceding that the con-
tract system Is more p ofitablc than any OF
the others except the lease system, nc pro-
nounces in favor of what he calls the hand
labor public account system. Here Is his con-
cusion in his own words:
Hand labor under the public account system Offers
many advantages over any other that has been
suggested to the bureau 1t involves the carrying Cd
OF the industries VI prison for the benefit OF the
State but without the Of power machinery tools
and hand machines only being allowed, the goods
to be made to consist Of such articles as boots and
shoes, tho woolen and cotton cloths needed
for the institution for sale to other INSTITUTIONS
harnesses and saddery and many other goods now
made by machinery or not now made at ali In prisons
Mr.. Wright pract cally admits that this
system "inyolyes the abandonment OF the
idea that prisons must pay but remarks that
its adoption would leave the State free ito
undertake the very best and most humane
efforts for the reformation of prisoners
1t will be seen that Commissioner Wright
docs not agree with the Comm ssion which
our State appointed few years ago to study
the prison problem. That Commission re-
ported 10 the last Legislature in favor Of the
public account system, but not with the
hand labor restriction. The Commission did
not look to the abb nd nment of the idea that
prisons must pay, but held that it was proper
they should be self-sustaining. When the
proposition to abandon the contract labor

and perhaps more able to pay for
it than he is. 1t is bad enough to
beat the printer by this kind of
sneaking, but it is real imposition
to deprive your noighbor and his
family Of the use,of the paper he
has paid for simply because you
are too stingy to take it yourself.
